I agree...here is what I found

Wachs Steam engine

http://www.wachsco.com/company/index.htm

Interesting reading, it's a steam engine, perhaps these guys took a picture of the Wachs engine

intending to point to J. Watts but obviously the picture and the JW don't match.

Then the poor guy with the hydraulic ram is out of the game :-(, and Watts stays, case closed ...

e42 guys when the game is over it will be nice if you provide some clue about the selection of

pictures, because with this one and the one of the telegraph we have two that seem to be

incorrect.

EW = Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin 1794

HD = Humphrey Davy - Demonstrated electric lamp to the Royal Society - 1806

JW = James Watt - Improved steam engine - 1763

BF = Benjamin Franklin - Pointed light rod conductor - 1752

GLL = George Louis Lesage - Used a single wire system to telegraph a message - 1774

LP = Louis pasteur - Process of sterilizing milk - 1862

GS = Glenn T. Seaborg - Synthesis and isolation of the radioactive element plutonium - 1941

GM = Guglielmo Marconi - Radio - 1901

AGB = Alexander Graham Bell - Phonophone - 1880

CM = Cyrus McCormick - Inventor the Reaper - 1809

TE = Thomas Edison - Invented phonograph - 1877

looks like gs = George Stephenson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Stephenson so maybe that leaves the the jw still up for grabs

BUT, the Stephenson Rocket, the first "modern" locomotive, was built in 1829: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephenson's_Rocket

so which is it?

i tried putting the initials in chronological order of when the inventor invented the device.

BF (1752)

JW (1763)

GLL (1774)

HD (1806)

CM (1809)

GS (1814)

LP (1862)

TE (1877)

AGB (1880)

GM (1901)

but when i put the initials in the answer box in that order with only a space between each, i had no luck.

Edit: forgot one. going to include it and see if i can work something out. : \

All in order (and with John Whitehurst for JW):

JW = John Whitehurst - Pulsation Engine (hydraulic pump) - 1722

BF = Benjamin Franklin - Pointed light rod conductor - 1752

GLL = George Louis Lesage - Used a single wire system to telegraph a message - 1774

EW = Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin 1794

HD = Humphrey Davy - Demonstrated electric lamp to the Royal Society - 1806

CM = Cyrus McCormick - Inventor the Reaper - 1809

GS = George Stephenson - modern locomotive - 1814/1829

LP = Louis pasteur - Process of sterilizing milk - 1862

TE = Thomas Edison - Invented phonograph - 1877

AGB = Alexander Graham Bell - Phonophone - 1880

GM = Guglielmo Marconi - Radio - 1901

    • Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much needed feature

      By +samw61 · Posted

      This is needed! Good to see them working on it. My solution up until now at work is to hide all MY folders, showing only the shortcuts, but linking my personal folders to the corresponding Libraries. Having this exposed in the Navigation pane of File Explorer means that I have easy nested access to my stuff, as well as all the shortcuts under the OneDrive folder when needed, often open as I only have about 10 or so linked sources.
